In the unlikely event that your Chauvet product may require service, contact Chauvet Technical Support.

Expected LED Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal, single-LED conditions. For this reason, using clustered LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly reduces the LEDs’ lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be 40,000 to 50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan is vital, lower the operating temperature by improving the ventilation around the product and reducing the ambient temperature to an optimal operating range. In addition, limiting the overall projection intensity may also help to extend the LEDs’ lifespan.

DMX Linking You can link the COLORdash™ Accent to a DMX controller using a 3-pin DMX connection. If using other DMX-compatible products with the COLORdash™ Accent, you can control each individually with a single DMX controller.

DMX Personalities

The COLORdash™ Accent uses a 3-pin DMX data connection for the STAGE1, ARC.1, and ARC.2 DMX personalities. · Refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of each DMX personality. · Refer to the Operation chapter to learn how to configure the COLORdash™ Accent to work

in these personalities. · The DMX Values section provides you with detailed information regarding the DMX

personalities.

If you are not familiar with or need more information about DMX standards, Master/Slave connectivity, or the DMX cables needed to link this product to a DMX controller, download the DMX Primer from the Chauvet website: www.chauvetprofessional.com.

Master/Slave Connectivity

The Master/Slave mode allows a COLORdash™ Accent (the master) to control one or more COLORdash™ Accents (the slaves) without a DMX controller. One COLORdash™ Accent becomes the master when running an auto program, or by being in a Static mode. You must configure each slave’s control panel to operate in Slave mode. During Master/Slave operation, the slaves will operate in unison with the master.

DO NOT connect a DMX controller to products operating in Master/Slave mode. The DMX controller signals may interfere with the signals from the master.

The Operation section of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to configure the master and slaves.
